[Verse 1]
Within the pale white walls
Nine to five, day after day
I feel no more alive than the stiff
That lies the table before me

[Verse 2]
Wake up too early to twist the key
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence

[Hook]
Nine to five

[Verse 1 repeated w/variation]
I feel so cold inside like the stiff...

[Verse 2 repeated]

[Pre-chorus]
Nine to five at the morgue
Overtime for the corpse
[chorus]
Hypnotised by the hum of the freezer
Hypnotised by the look in your eyes
Hypnotised by the pallid cadaver
Hypnotised by the look in your eyes

[Hook]
Nine to five

[Bridge w/flute solo]

[Verse 3]
The truth is harsher than you think
It's the hair that fills the sink
And all the wrinkles 'round your eyes
Until you're old and hypnotised

[Verse 2 repeated]
Wake up too early to twist the key
Stumble on over to the Mr. Coffee
Pour myself a warm black existence

[Pre-chorus]
Nine to five at the morgue
Overtime for the corpse
[chorus]
Hypnotised by the hum of the freezer
Hypnotised by the look in your eyes
Hypnotised by the pallid cadaver
Hypnotised by the look in your eyes

[Outro]
Stitch his lips
Shut his eyes
Nine to five at the morgue
NINE--TO--FIVE--AT--THE--MORGUE!
